Bonjour et Bienvenue!

Hello and Welcome!

​

Our French program introduces not only the language but the culture of French-speaking countries and communities. It aims to foster children’s curiosity and help deepen their understanding of the world. It also offers a carefully planned sequence of lessons, ensuring progressive coverage of the skills required by the Victorian Curriculum.

​

We offer a very unique, French, early year’s literacy program.

Supporting French skills for dual language or bilingual learners with a large collection of engaging, translated books at a variety of reading levels. Helping emerging bilinguals build confidence while increasing their comprehension and fluency in the target language. French Translated Leveled Books are used and listed at the same levels as their English counterparts to support students' biliteracy.

​

We inspire pupils to develop a love of languages and to expand their horizons to other countries, cultures and people. Aimed at helping children grow into curious, confident, and reflective language learners and to provide them with a foundation that will equip them for further language studies.

 

A full range of resources, including display materials increases the profile of languages across our school. The learning environment is consistent with key French vocabulary displayed, spoken and used by all learners. Whole-school and parental engagement ensures that French is loved by teachers and pupils across school.
